Maybe your views arent as contentious as you believe.
I blame the American media for such assumptions as Christians being persecuted and hated across the board. I will be very honest; I hate ALOT of what the bible says, but there are some good parts. I hate SOME Christians but it would be idiotic of me to blanket genralize everyone.
Yes, sometimes I refer to the word "Christians" and it looks like blakent generalizations. I am human, I make mistakes, and I dont want to type 50 million words to make my point. Usually when I say "Christians" I am talking about the pushy, hard right wing fascist types. Sometimes when I say Christian I mean all of them. I have many good friends that are what I call "the cool christians". The ones who are nice, and easy going, and have a good sense of humor. I like being around them, and we have good conversations sometimes on religion, but for the most part religion isnt a factor in our friendships.
